It’s amazing how environmental friendly this event is. They leave La Playa the way it was before the event. If you count 60,000 people during one week how much trash they can make, and nothing is left there after the festival… it’s AWESOME! There are multiple places to recycle and through your trash in cities near by Black Rock City. Last year we threw all our trash in Reno, where we found tones of containers and multiple points to recycle. Participants in BM are also conscious, even more when you see that nobody is throwing anything. We are the animals which greatest levels of impact in nature! Remember to keep it clean and take with you your own cup; not only you will help the environment, but also people will poor drinks on it! 
You can see in this image how clean is everything, it’s sunrise after a long night partying and everything looks clean.
